New Videos: T. Hardy Morris, Powerkompany
T. Hardy Morris and T. Hardy Morris
Here are two new music videos—excuse me, one new music video and one new music film—for your viewing plej.
The "music film" (seems a tad precious, but it was shot on film, so I guess it's OK) comes courtesy of local songwriter T. Hardy Morris and Austin, TX-based website Transistor Six. It accompanies the title track from Morris' recently released solo LP; the Super 8-shot clip is a nice analogue (get it?) to the warm, nostalgic tune.

Peter Buck On Life After R.E.M.
It seemed like everything occurred at once. I remember I felt really sorry for myself for a day or two, and then I thought, well, this is bullshit. I have got a million friends; if I was broke I could just call them and stay on their couches for 10 years. I still have whatever ability I had, which isn’t a lot. I’ve got great family, great friends. You know, I don’t have to work for a reason; there’s no need.
I love those songs. But I never want to play “Losing My Religion” again. “Man on the Moon,” it’s a great song. But it’s five minutes long and I’ve played it a couple thousand times.
—From a very long Salon interview with Peter Buck, which the former R.E.M. guitarist (playing the 40 Watt on Thursday, Nov. 14) hints will be his last.

Live Review: Frightened Rabbit at 40 Watt Club

After finishing work at 10 p.m. and biking 3.5 miles fast enough to where I could hear my calves scream, I finally made it to the 40 Watt. Frightened Rabbit’s breakout single “Modern Leper,” off the band's album Midnight Organ Flight, rang out all the way down Pulaski Street, and a friendly doorman assured me that this was only the band’s second song. So, I proceeded into the venue to fully encounter the Scottish indie-rockers and a half-full (but densely packed) hall of ecstatic fans.
Since I first downloaded the band’s first two records to my Zune in 2008, I could never determine what differentiated Frightened Rabbit from all the other pop-rock in the industry. What drew so many people to songs that could all serve as themes to the big climax-endings of so many indie romantic comedies?

Win Tickets: Former Teen Star Aaron Carter Plays Melting Point Tonight
“Here's a little bit of old school for ya that goes a little something like this”
—"Aaron's Party" (Come And Get It, 2000)It's a hard thing to wrap one's mind around the idea that a pop star can make his comeback at the relatively tender age of 25, an age when a lot of pop stars are only just getting their first shot at fame, but turn-of-the-21st-Century sensation Aaron Carter is doing just that. Best known among his Generation Y fans (aka “millennials”) for his hits “Aaron's Party (Come Get It)” and “That's How I Beat Shaq,” Carter hasn't released an album proper for 11 years.

Live Review: The So So Glos at Caledonia Lounge
The more I think about it, it must be easier to play to an audience of 20,000 than to an audience of 20. Not that I think that the Brooklyn-based So So Glos are deserving of playing to that small of a crowd, but those were the very real circumstances in which the band found itself Tuesday night at the Caledonia Lounge. The real test of a band is if it plays with the same amount of intensity no matter the size of the crowd. At least in this case, So So Glos passed.
